How do I get a single Colour on a black and white pic
Hi All – I think I may have asked this before but how do you get a single colour to be retained in a pictrure and fade the rest of the image to black and white?
example given, but for my client i have a head and shoulders portrait shot and want to retain colour in the face and hair whilst fading the clothing and background to B/W hope that makes sense.
I have flexi/corel/signlab/illy and Photoslob 😀
Thanks for looking
John

In photoshop,
Convert to grey scale then use history brush tool.
You can make a mask to make it easier -
Photoshop gives you a few methods…you tube has some guides. I’d duplicate the layer, save one as grayscale, on the colour layer zoom in so you can see the pixels and using select tool, not magnetic one-it isn’t accurate enough, draw around what you want to keep in colour. Copy it and paste it into the grayscale layer and position. A bit fiddly at first but you tube will show the way.

Or draw around what you want to keep in colour, select inverse, and then in hue saturation, turn the saturation right down. The marching ants around your selection will remain in colour, the background will go grey.

I’ve just tried this in Corel PhotoPaint using the undo brush and it is so easy
I’ve now just found a new hobby 😀
-
Glenn, What way did you do it in Corel??
-
Nicholas…….I just used ‘Desaturate’….then the undo brush to bring the colour back to the specific area
It really was as simple as that.
Done in Corel PhotoPaint though….not CorelDraw
